LaBelle: Mr. Adams Goes to Philadelphia
John Adams National Historic Park
It has been 250 years since John Adams departed his home in Massachusetts for the
First Continental Congress in Philadelphia. In June 1774, Adams was elected to go to
Philadelphia as a delegate to the First Continental Congress. Here, representatives
from the American colonies met to discuss their opposition to England’s colonial
government. Adams was an active participant at this meeting and the subsequent
Second Continental Congress. During the course of his attendance at these sessions,
Adams proposed George Washington as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army
and argued forcefully for and helped his friend Thomas Jefferson draft the Declaration
of Independence. Join us as we take a step back into history celebrating this important
anniversary. SLN live programs take you around the country to museums and
landmarks right from the comfort of home. Call COA at 603-526-6368 to register.

Upset!- Truman Presidential Library
“Down in the polls and under fire within his own party, Truman alone remained confident
of his victory. On the morning after the election, Americans rose to news of the most
surprising comeback in presidential election history. In Missouri, Truman learned of his
victory at 4:00am, when a Secret Service agent woke him. Later that day 40,000 people
jammed the town square in Independence to salute their native son. How did he do it?
The election was a cliffhanger; the President won without getting a majority of the
popular vote, pulling together just enough of the old New Deal coalition to squeak
through. “ – Truman Library. Join us with the new Education Director of the Truman
Presidential Library as she takes us through this important moment in history as we are
in the midst of our own historic election season! SLN live programs take you around
